    How to Focus on One Word for the Year

    October 9, 2020 / No Comments

    I used to make a long list of resolutions. Then around February, I would have abandoned my resolutions and have fallen back into my old habits. But, about 5 years ago, I stumbled across an article that told me to focus on one word for the year instead. I found that keeping my focus on one word for the year helped me ACTUALLY accomplish what I wanted to. Especially since I could give up my daunting to do list that I had renamed my “resolutions”. Now that I’ve been choosing a word for a few years, it’s been exciting to see how my life has changed. It’s never too early–or…

    15 Things That Make You Rich in Your Twenties

    October 8, 2020 / No Comments

    I’ve been thinking a lot about gratitude lately–coming up to November, how cliche, I know. I just finished The Secret by Rhonda Byrne which talks about being grateful for the things you have now and expectant of the blessings that are to come. If you’re interested in using the ideas in The Secret, read my article about how to get exactly what you want. I helped out at the food pantry this week and my gratitude list hit home. There are so many things that make you rich, right now. As a society, we like to complain about being poor, especially in our twenties. We joke that we’re broke college…

    The Dreamers Ultimate Guide to Overcome Perfectionism

    October 8, 2020 / No Comments

    If you read my article about escaping the prison of perfectionism, you know that I’m a perfectionist. Maybe it has to do with being a Virgo, or having an INTJ personality, or just being a human with an entrepreneur spirit. No matter what the cause, the result can be paralyzing to my dreams if I don’t overcome perfectionism. For us dreamers, we need to take a hold on our perfectionism to get things done. We already know the 5 things about being a dreamer with a day job. Below is the ultimate guide to overcome perfectionism and start living your dreams.

    How to Stop Being a Prisoner of Perfection

    October 8, 2020 / 2 Comments

    I am a HUGE prisoner of perfection–if I didn’t have a 3 letter middle name, it might be perfectionist. But perfectionism isn’t going to help me achieve my goals. If anything, it’s going to put them off FARTHER in the future. Do you ever feel like this? You want things to be perfect before you presenting anything to the world. You’re afraid to showcase something people are going to disapprove of or judge or have something negative to say about. We get consumed with our perfectionism because following through with our project makes us very vulnerable. It’s even be harder with all of our social media! But we need to…

    The 5 Best Sweet Potato Recipes

    October 7, 2020 / No Comments

    Some of my favorite meatless dishes include many sweet potato recipes. I used to eat mostly vegetarian (I say mostly because once in a while I’d cook something with chicken). Since most of my meals consisted of vegetables, I needed a way to feel full and satisfied so I wouldn’t feel starved in a couple of hours. That’s when I discovered sweet potatoes and how amazing they are! Sweet potatoes are rich in Vitamin A, B6, C, and D. As well as a good source for potassium, magnesium, and iron. They’re good for the immune system and they won’t increase your blood sugar (I swear this isn’t an ad for sweet…
